Toys and Games Reviews of LeapFrog My First LeapPad Educational Book: Cars
Customer Review: Buy a different My First LeapPad title -- Any other is better.
Summary: 1 Stars
Quite possibly the worst of all My First LeapPad titles. Buy Jay Jay or Vroom or Dora instead -- much better efforts. I am stunned at the lack of imagination and creativity on the part of LeapFrog's and Disney's product development staff on this title. This is what you get for your approximately $13 investment: A litany of one-liners from the movie, including "Ka-Ching, ka ka ka ka-chow;" "I swear, tractors is so dumb;" and so on. Other educational tidbits: Your child gets to learn when the first Volkswagen was made (sigh). The list of useless factoids in this product is almost endless. I mean, seriously, people. This is NOT educational. Get off it. Those people that rated this 5 stars have not had to listen to tractors "Moo" or hear Lightning "Ka-Chow" 10,000 times (while in the car)...maybe they should revisit their reviews after 6 months and let us know what they think. It has perhaps one or two worthwhile activities. It is, however, an abomination to sell this product. I was really offended by the "I swear" remark (I do not enjoy having my child repeat this to me and have to explain that it is not a very polite statement). If this is what we have become, then I guess I am wrong and this is a 5 star "educational" product. I would, however, like to think this lame product is an anomaly in the My First LeapPad line.
If we are cared for as customers, this particular incarnation of the Cars My First LeapPad book and cartridge will go the way of the dodo bird, and Pixar and LeapFrog will retool this product into one that is creative and educational. There were so many missed opportunities here to put out an age appropriate science and math teaching tool to the preschool set.
Description of LeapFrog My First LeapPad Educational Book: Cars
Rev it up with Lightning McQueen as he cruises through Radiator Springs. Look under the hood and discover fun facts while building important preschool reading and math skills. Help McQueen fix the road while learning short vowel sounds. Learn cool car facts from McQueen and his buddies as they steer you through a history of cars and music. And when McQueen gets lost, help him find his way through Radiator Springs by counting to ten. Kids can even earn their "license to drive" by finding Mater's favorite letters, numbers and shapes on fun license plates. Teaches car facts and parts, numbers 1-10, short vowels, shapes and pre-writing skills. For use with My First LeapPad (sold separately).Snap this interactive book and cartridge into any My First LeapPad system and your child will begin learning valuable preschool skills. This new addition to the LeapFrog library features characters and storylines from the popular Disney movie, Cars. Kids will explore the book with Lightning McQueen and friends and unwittingly practice their math, reading, and pre-writing skills through fun activities. For example, preschoolers help Mater the tow truck locate letters, numbers, and shapes on license plates in one exercise. In another, preschoolers locate numbers 1 through 10 on a map to direct McQueen through the town of Radiator Springs. Junior mechanics will also delight in learning various car facts and names of parts. --Cristina Vaamonde
